It's popular to state that "I Led Three Lives" was the TV version of "I Was a Communist for the FBI" but it's not quite accurate. I was a Communist for the FBI was based on the stories of Matt Cvetic, very loosely. "I Led Three Lives" told the real life stories of Herbert Philbrick and tended to be more realistic and less sensational.
